Company(ex-employer) provided us apartments at the Headed quarters . As part of consulting and I had to travel to different addresses and often those trips extended to months.
Most of my time (In the whole 13 months , that I was employed with the company), I lived at company apartments at the heade quarters.
There are 3 other addresses that I am concerned about.
I have lived at one adress about 3 months, and filed tax for that State.
At a second address I had to live for about 2 months , but did not file taxes. since the stay, I knew was temporary, I used address of a friend(a third address) of mine and had to Pay taxes for his state.
So I have 3 more places now to include(again my stays were less than 3 months).
I checked with my attorney, and she says, I do not have to include the short stays, as they can be defined as 'Short Trips' not residence. She also said that a person can be physically in one place and NOT be a resident there.
The attorneys statement goes like this:
'I do not think they want to know about those short stays and that they have any access to those information , if one choose not to specify it'.
Also she specified that, Q.25 means primarily about the previous entry to the US , OR residence in the US. So one can give emphasis to either the 'ENTRY' or the 'Residence', and not both.
I respect the openion of the lawyer, however Since you guys are Gurus, after spending a whole lot of your time researching, and having personal experience about immigration, Please post your thoughts here.
It will be of a great help to myself and the rest of the future immigrants.
Thanks for making this forum a great source of information.
